. . . plenty of thrifted crewelwork, at least. This was a thrift store find stapled around cardboard (aren't they always?) and stuffed into a cheap rickety frame. I could almost feel its sigh of relief as it settled over the curves of stuffing when I finished.

The back is more of the loosely-woven gold silk, with a bright turquoise zipper boldly showing.

Oh, this is a sweet one! What a great idea to turn it into a pillow. I always wonder about the hands that stitched these dear little creations and what their story might be. Glad you rescued it and gave it new life!!

Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.

Photography

Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
